Flash The Flesh

A couple of weeks ago during our weekly Sunday #psbloggerschat over on Twitter a group of us bloggers were talking about our preferences between mini and maxi's and Becky over at www.doesmyblogmakemelookfat.com  thought that it would be great to create a challenge with the goal being to show a little bit more skin and our body (but with style and no vulgarity) showing proudly our curves. And so “Flash the Flesh” was born.

My own particular challenge is to 'flash some leg'.

I don't like my legs at all and so this is my quest to try to learn to love them. 

The reason's I don't like them:

a) They are short and stumpy

b) They are so white and pasty

c) I suffer from really dry skin on them

d) I bruise easily on them, if you look closely enough you can see some bruises. 

I made the most of the sunshine we had last weekend to take the pics and get me pins out. 

I'm not gonna lie the thought of posting a pic of my legs is pretty daunting, I would normal wear this dress with either tights or leggings, but I NEED to embrace them and embrace them I shall... with you all!!

OMCZ Challenge #6 - Neon

Hi Everyone,

Its that time again for the latest OMCZ challenge.

This week the challenge is slightly different, we are all taking turns in setting them for each other.
This weeks challenge setter was:
Steph from http://www.seeingsp0ts.blogspot.co.uk

Neon
Your choice, be it clothing, accessories, make up. 
At least 1 neon colour but the more the merrier.

Well today I decided on a really old Neon Pink top of mine from River Island, I usually wear it for bed but hey ho, for the purposes of a challenge I've revived it for normal wear.

Also the first showing on the blog of my new haircut, I've had a good 5 inches cut from my hair just over a week ago now. I love it, my head feels so light now. Nothing like a new 'do' to make you feel better. I'm going lighter over the next few months, going to do it gradually so look out for a more 'Blonder Em' in the coming months.

Anyhoo you may have also noticed my little special guest also sporting his Neon Green bandana.
Yep its my lil Harvey.

Harvey & Me

Love my lil Harveypoo

He looks so cool in his bandana

Old Oversized Neon and a smile in the sun.

Outfit:
Top: River Island
Black Hareem Trousers: New Look
Gold Sandals: Next
Sunglasses: Primark

#OOTD - Simply Be - Hanky Hem Aztec Print Dress

Hey Everyone,

After seeing this dress on the Simply Be website I just knew I HAD to have it.

I have a new obsession with Aztec Prints and this dress ticked all the boxes for me.

My package of new bits and bobs arrived yesterday and ripping the package open in excitement I couldn't wait to show this dress it to you all.

Those of you that saw my Tweet yesterday will know I had had had to try it on instantly and am so in love with it right now.

The whole style just sits really well and the elasticated waist actually hangs lower down which is a bonus, as in the past with elasticated waisted dresses I always found they just didn't sit right and I end up looking like an unusual looking jackolantern, but this one skims my curves really nicely and draws in slightly at my waist, accompanied with the high collar its adds a uniqueness and quirkiness to the outfit. 

I opted for the pink colour but you can also get it in turquoise if you check out the website (click here) 

 I might just have to get that one too.

Hurry up bright sunshine I want to wear this without the need for a cardigan.

Love

Mrs M xxxx
